Ai WeiWei Art Review:
“Straight”
Art is one of the oldest ways in which humans communicate. Art can be dated back to humanities’ first steps, used as a mean to record and worship, such as the examples found in cave paintings of the Lascaux cave in France or the Venus of Willendolf. (Source #1)
And for a long time, art did not deviate from its original path as a tool for society. Artists lived only as servants to their churches, their nobles and their kings. As the churches held most of the commissions for art, the focus for a long time was religion. And as art kept growing through works like the Sistine Chapel from Michelangelo in 1483, we can all see how many humans strive so hard to perfect what they love.
After the next brief period in history, the term “propaganda” popped up, or “social commentary” as many call it. An example for this is the work “Rosie the Riveter” by Norman Rockwell, a big motivational artwork of the world war eras (Source #2). This is not a big deviation from art’s previous roles in society; however, artists are growing more and more independent, expressing their thoughts individually.
And Ai WeiWei is one of the contemporary artists who excel at making his thoughts heard and seen by the world. A fine example of this are messages such as the ones found in his sculptural work named “Straight”.
His installation named “Straight” might not be the most...

Ai WeiWei
Ai WeiWei blurred the lines between the aesthetic and the political. According to the internet, aesthetic is defined as concerned with beauty or the appreciation of beauty. Ai WeiWei used art to “protest” against the Chinese government. Ai Weiwei was a creative man who thought of ideas how to represent the names of all the children who were killed in a deadly earthquake. A commentator in the movie claimed thatAi WeiWei was doing a job that the government should be doing.
A deadly earthquake collapsed many buildings including homes and schools. Thousands of children were killed and were left unrecognized. Ai WeiWei wasn’t going to let this go. He assembled a project, full of volunteers to help him search for the names of the children who were killed in the disaster. He placed every individual name on his wall. The project inspired him to create more pieces of art work to revolt against the Chinese government.
Ai WeiWei was a fearless man. Ai WeiWei was very involved with social media. He used twitter to share to the world how corrupt China’s government was. He left China when he said “Fuck You Mother Land.” Cameras are sometimes forbidden in China. Ai WeiWei was assaulted by a police officer, but that did not stop him from taking pictures in front court houses or of an officer who was at the scene when he was attacked....

...Ai Weiwei
More than just an artist; political activist, sculptor, photographer, and architect Ai Weiwei merges traditional techniques and imagery with personal experience in order to show his tumultuous relationship with the Chinese government.
“He Xie,” an installation of thousands of porcelain crabs. They are (not too carefully) arranged in a large circle piled up on one another. The individual objects become one pile which makes them virtually indistinguishable from each other. The piece is a reaction to the demolition of Weiwei’s studio ordered by Chinese government officials. Meaning “river crab” but sounding similar to “harmonious” in Chinese, “He Xie” has also been adapted into slang meaning censorship, something Weiwei is not a stranger to. His passport has been revoked, his twitter deleted, and work destroyed all in an effort to quiet his dissonance. This piece references a dinner held at his recently demolished studio where the main course was indeed river crabs. This is symbolic of the failed attempts the government has made to maintain harmony by censoring Weiwei. Despite their efforts, Weiwei still spoke openly to reporters, and maintained a blog while on house arrest following an 81 day stint in prison on charges of tax evasion. Charges Weiwei questions because he maintains that he was only interrogated about his political actions.
For “Coca-Cola Vase,” Ai painted “Coca-Cola” in the company’s familiar script using...

Ai Weiwei
The documentary about Ai Weiwei art is extremely idealistic for China. I believe his work is necessarily how it looks but the idea it is trying to spread. Ai Weiwei is trying to change how China thinks, because the Chinese people are neglected of self thought without fear of punishment. Ai Weiwei is not afraid to try and spread the idea of self thought, and just wants China to relinquish its hold over its peoples mind. His work questions what China has done to its history and how it has become a country where everyone is just a machine and does what they are commanded without giving it a thought. Ai Weiwei wants China to be somewhat similar to America because we are able to question our country without fear of us disappearing. When the riots and the persecutions America did to themselves, Ai Weiwei seemed to have felt that’s how China should act like, instead of acting terrible to its own people and slaughtering thousands of lives at Tiananmen square.AI Weiwei is just spreading the idea of how China is being brash to its own people and not conducting human rights. He said that if you have to questions if they are breaking human rights you know they are breaking them (slightly paraphrased). It is obvious how the people agree with them because he got his blog turned off because it was getting to heated and hundreds of thousands of people...

Subject: Reporting Financial Statement Under IFRS
Date: 09/30/2013
Introduction
Due to the forecasted high demand in the future, Gobias Industires, Inc. plans to report the company’s financial statements as soon as the next year. However, the argument is whether the company should report its financial statements consistent with the US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) or the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), when IFRS may be the reporting standard for US companies in the near future. I suggest Gobias Industries start reporting financial statements under both US GAPP and IFRS because the company is a U.S. based potential global firm.
What Are GAAP and IFRS
GAAP is rule-based accounting principles that composed with more than 2,000 documents. According to American Instituted of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), all members must prepare financial statements under GAAP (Kieso Et al., Chap. 4, ETB). In other word, all public traded American companies must report their financial statements accordance with GAAP.
On the other hand, IFRS is principle-based accounting standards, which is used by more than 120 nations (AICPA, 2013). Reporting under IFRS is similar from reports under GAAP except the recording of consolidation, extraordinary items on statement of income, inventory, earning-per-share and development costs (Forgeas, 2008).
Advantage of Implementing Both GAAP And IFRS
GAAP Can Be...
